The parts Within the intake air chamber are protected from the direct action of the products of combustion, and all of the parts, With the exception of the valve-actuating connections, are inclosed Within the burner body or casing.

I do not desire to limit myself to the precise construction and arrangement of parts Which I have herein shoWnand described, as it is obvious that various changes can be made in the details of construction and arrangement thereof, Without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention, as defined in the appended claims.

claim:

1. An inverted incandescent gas burner having a casing, an'air chamber extending across the casing and having holes through the outside sides of the casing, a gas supply pipe leading to a mixer tube Within the casing, and a shut-off cook, a gas regulator and a pilot tube all contained Within said air chamber, substantially as described.

11 inverted incandescent gas burner having a casing, an air chamber Within the casing and extending to outside sides thereof leaving a vertical flue at each side of said chamber, a mixing tube Within said chamber, and a vertical gas pipe leading to the mixing tube and having Within said chamber a shutoff cook, a regulator having an accessible adjusting device, and a pilot tube, substantially as described.

3. An inverted incandescent gas burner, comprising a casing of general bell shape and tapering upwardly, said casing being open at the bottom and having openings at its top, a plurality of partitions extending transversely across the interior of the bell inside the side thereof With openings at the ends leading through the Walls of said outer casing, said partitions in connection With a ottom member forming a closed air chamher With a vertical flue at each side thereof, a gas-mixing device Within said chamber and having air intake openings communicating With the chamber, a gas-supply pipe connecting to the mixing tube and having a shut-off cock provided With operating means extending through said chamber and to the exterior of the casing, and a regulating valve below the shut-01f cock and having adjusting means extending Within the said chamber and accessible through the Wall of said casing, substantially as described.

In testimony Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand.
